The Nextbit Robin, a crowdfunding idea that actually came to fruition, can be had at a massive discount through Amazon's daily Gold Box deal. Originally $399, for today only you can get it at a paltry $199. If you're on a GSM carrier, there's a lot to like here, especially at the price.

The Robin has been discounted before, but this is by far the best deal we've seen. We made a fuss on Prime Day when it was marked down to $239 and this is yet another $40 better than that. While the original $399 price didn't last long, beyond Prime Day it hasn't sunk below $299.

The phone distinguishes itself with its looks and interesting online/offline storage feature which offloads excess items to the cloud (100GB provided free) to keep you from running out of room. But aside from those things, you're still looking at a phone with a capable Snapdragon 808 SoC, 3GB RAM, a 1080p display front-facing speakers, Quick Charge technology, a USB-C connector, and most of the other trappings you see on more expensive phones.

Like all Gold Box deals, the discount ends at the end of the day—or when it sells out. If you need some help deciding whether or not to pull the trigger, you can check out Ryan's review of the Robin to get an even-handed look at this unique phone.

I have to agree. I have this device and aside from the camera, it's amazing. But I couldn't believe how poor the picture quality was. They're beta testing new camera apps but I don't know if the problem is software.

I've always wanted this phone strictly based on the Mint Colorway. At $200 I'm getting it as a backup device
